I had to get another look for myself at what happens when changing viewpoint for
+z. Found the x and y rotations appear opposite, yet z remains counterclockwise
when seen from these different directions and with the change to x sign.

First is the usual view for many POV-Ray scenes with camera at a -z coordinate,
looking toward +z. The default 'up' +y and 'right' +x (or <4/3,0,0>).
